What is your favorite season of year? Why?
Love the warm days of spring and the changing of the leaves in fall. Plus in N.C. the fall is still warm but not so hot you can’t enjoy being outside. Summer is third but by August I am ready for the heat to subside. And Winter is a distant fourth. Just don’t like cold weather.

How do you feel about cold weather?
I think this Haiku answers this question.
Tropical beach bar
Open to the warm sea breeze
Nestled in the palms
I do not like the cold. Prefer warm days and sand under my feet. Can I tolerate it? Yes, but only if I have to. I do enjoy a nice snowfall but it’s the only part of winter I really enjoy.

Not so much a quote but a song: No Plane on Sunday by Jimmy Buffett
Lyrics:
You can throw your luggage down
Lose your cool and stamp around
But there’s nothin, nothin you can do
Wipe away your girlfriend’s tears
Go to the bar and have some beers
There ain’t no way the bird’s gettin throughNo plane on Sunday
Maybe be one come Monday
Just a hopeless situation
Make the best of it’s all you can do
till they get throughOverheard the engineer
Say somethin’ ’bout the landing gear
Now we’re runnin’ strictly on island time
I know you got someone back home
So do I it’s tough alone
Awh come on, it’s just a minor crimeNo plane on Sunday
Check it again come Monday
Just a hopeless situation
Make the best of it’s ’bout all you can do
Baby it’s trueWe shouldn’t spend these precious hours
Tryin’ to figure this out
We don’t know where the story ends
Let’s don’t go back to just being friendsSo they went walkin’ on the beach
Quarter moon within their reach
So they stole it and tucked it in their hearts
That’s when they heard the engines hum
And realized the dawn had come
It was over, over from the startNo plane on Sunday
Just another lonely Monday
Awh make the best of a bad situation’s
‘Bout all you can do
Baby it’s trueOh-oh-oh-oh baby it’s true
Oh-oh-oh-oh baby what’s new
Oh-oh-oh-oh baby what’s newI think the song itself is about an affair but what I like about it the most is the fact that it tells you that no matter what is going on try and make the best of the situation you are in. That’s how I try to go about my day each day making the best of whatever is presented to me. I also did a podcast episode for this song on the Song Lines and Tan Lines Podcast.

When do you feel most productive?
Mornings are the best time for me and sometimes, usually after a good nap, I can be productive in the afternoon. At night, I am a human slug.
